Good evening...
It always seems I write my entries in the middle of the night, but I guess its because of the fact that its the only time I have...but anyways I hope you are all well.
I have heard so many people talk about how 'if there really was a God, how can there be SO much suffering', and blame all the other awful things that happen on this earth on Him. I find it funny though, that when wonderful things happen, like the birth of a new baby, or a new scientific discovery, or winning the world cup (that's right, im keeping up with the times :D), no-one talks about God. They start to puff up their chests and say how wonderful we as humans are, we can do all these things. God is completely 'out of the loop' when good things happen, but when something awful takes place, there He is, easily used by us as a cosmic scapegoat. He is not to blame for the problems on this earth...HUMANS are!
We need to start opening our eyes to the blantant signs of His majesty, splendour, and LOVE for us. Look at the human body and how it is made up, the trees and how they grow, the sun and how all the planets rotate around it without flying off into space, the universe and its vastness. These are all beautiful things, and they scream of The Creator. No cosmic accident can create something so ordered and beautiful. Science is based on a rule that states that something cannot be created out of nothing. Only God can create something from nothingness.
People try to tell us that something came from nothing (ie the big bang theory), and that humans descended from apes over millions of years. I have no issues with science, I think it is a wonderful thing. but we make all these discoveries and say 'aha...here is more proof that God doesn't exist', when in fact all these new discoveries show is how much we DON'T know about the earth around use, let alone this vast universe that we are but a small part of.
I have been reading a book by Philip Yancey called 'The Jesus I never Knew', and it has challenged me to look at what Jesus did for me in a whole new perspective. I guess that was what prompted me to write this post, in a way to publicly repent of my sin of not taking my relationship with my Saviour seriously, and to also challenge people who reads this (whether you believe in Jesus or not) to REALLY think about these things that we take as FACT.
Acts 17 v 25 and 25 'The LORD God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of Heaven and Earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And He does is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives all men life and breath and evrything else'. We are so proud of ourselves when do something new (like walk on the moon, or create cure for diseases), but we have to start to understand that all of these wonderful gifts COME from God, and it is because He loves us that He gives them to us.
I want to challenge readers who think that God doesnt exist. Just take a look around the earth, the signs are everywhere. As for us Christians, we need to just simply give Him praise for our very existence. He doesn't need us, but He WANTS us, how wonderful.
Ok...im off to bed. I hope ure all well...and have a good weekend, God bless xx
Right, im off to bed. Good night and God bless xx

Nice post! It's so true: we have such big opinions of ourselves and such small thoughts of God. We twist it all round.
